How keep a stem of Rose?

12 years ago

Dear readers,

I've a stem of red rose and I put it in a bottle of water.

Since we live in an apartment and there is no garden, I wanted to ask if it is possible to keep and bring it up in water?

Or, since it has been cut from stem, how can I prepare a vase and put the rose in soil?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think that would work.

Roses require a lot of sun. Do you have a balcony? Go to the propagation forum to learn how to root cuttings.

It is possible to root a cut flower, I once knew a woman with a garden full of roses she had rooted from cut flowers in bouquets. But, I don't really know how to do it, just that people do it. Look for directions on rooting rose cuttings, the internet has lots of info on this.
